Also in Beddoes & Smith, pages 78-79. Dated between May 1908 and February 1911. The train was a Woofferton-Kidderminster-Birmingham service; the rear coach was a through LNWR coach to Birmingham New Street via Smethwick (the LNWR coach working ended in 1917). Beyond is a GWR Steam Railmotor, possibly No. 91.

334 was built by Beyer Peacock in 1864. Nabarro's book has a picture of another Beyer Goods, no. 338, shunting at Bewdley circa 1925, by which time it would have been almost sixty years old.

"Sambourne" Viaduct. Postcard posted in 1910.
The arch across the pond is still there and visible from the train. I think I read once that it was built as a folly and never served any practical purpose.

21 December 1959. The original caption on Facebook describes this as having arrived from Tenbury. A short discussion on the Unofficial SVR Page unanimously concluded that it is actually heading to Tenbury.
